2026 CAMDEN COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS The Board of Commissioners is proud and honored to host the 87th annual Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta on the Cooper River, part of the award-winning Camden County Parks System. Not only are we proud to host this event, but we are humbled to have the pleasure of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first women’s team to compete and win the Dad Vail. This will be a special event for athletes, families and staff involved in facilitating this nationwide competition and an important milestone in the history of this storied regatta. In 2023, the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta moved from its traditional venue at the Schuylkill River National Racecourse, to the waters of Cooper River Park and each year since, the event has brought thousands of fans and athletes to Camden County. We are humbled that for the fourth year in a row, Camden County will host the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta, and we are incredibly grateful that the Board of Directors of the Dad Vail Regatta Organizing Committee chose our venue once again as the location for this prestigious event. Our renowned course and park is the ideal setting for such a time-honored tradition. Cooper River Park in Pennsauken is home to many prestigious regattas and boasts a worldclass, Olympicdistance, 2000-meter narrow and sheltered straightaway. Cooper River Park encompasses 346 acres through Pennsauken, Cherry Hill, Collingswood, and Haddon Township. In addition to the boathouse, the park has several top-quality amenities for visitors to enjoy, which includes: a skatepark, a newly renovated children’s playground with pavilions, a softball field, a cross-country course, the Camden County Driving Range, the Cooper River Yacht Club, bike trails, Jack Curtis Stadium, a track, picnic areas, Veterans Island, a dog park, a bocce court and more. We cannot wait to welcome everyone back to Cooper River Park for another wonderful weekend at the Jefferson Dad Vail Regatta. Camden County Board of Commissioners LOUIS CAPPELLI, JR.
